Can I ever run again?

Hi all, 6 months ago I broke my tibia and fibula in a motorbike crash. They were comminute fractures at the top, just below the knee. The tibia was fixed with a large plate but the fibula was left to mend itself. I also had several small fractures in my foot. I used crutches for 5 months and then a walking stick for the last 4 weeks, now for the last 2 days I've been walking on my own but with quite a limp due to weakness. Do you think it will be possible to ever jog again to regain my fitness? And if so when do you think I might be able to? I've been riding a bicycle and doing hydrotherapy for about 6 weeks now but the leg is still very weak and muscle depletion is significantly obvious just by looking. Any help will be appreciated.
